I wasn't trolling and as has already been discussed organic food is less efficient then conventional farming. It requirese more land, more energy, and sometimes even more water. Furthermore there is not a single study supporting the claim that organic food is in any way healther or more nutritious. The only thing organic food really has going for it is that organic farmers tend to treat animals more humanly. But as someone who eats a primarily pescetarian diet that doesn't really matter to me.
Organic food requires more pesticides then conventionally farmed foods. Many people believe that organic means pesticide free, but actually it just means that the pesticides used are not synthetic. These natural pesticides don't work as well and thus must be used in greater quantities, the runoff of this leaks into the groundwater and contaminates more water then conventional synthetic pesticides would.
Many people will also just buy anything with a label that says Organic on it and not pay attention to where it was harvested. If you're buying organic potatoes made in Iowa and you're living in florida then I don't care what you believe, the gas used to haul that potato across the nation will offset any environmental benefits organic food supposedly has.
